Here's how anti-lock works. Let's say the road is wet.
You're driving safely. Suddenly an a n i m a l jumps out in
front of you.
You slam on the brakes. Here's what happens with ABS.
A computer senses that wheels are slowing down. If one
of the wheels is about to stop rolling, the computer will
separately work the brakes at each
front wheel and at the
rear wheels.
The anti-lock system
can change
the br&e.pressure faster
than
any
driver could. The computer isqxogrammed to
make the most of available &.and road conditions.

You can steer around the obstacle while braking hard.
As you brake, your computer keeps receiving updates on
wheel speed and controls braking pressure accordingly.
